    19 TRX Patriot

    I really like the videos of this boat. They claim that it the best riding 19 ftr. and it looks great and like the layout. Is this true because I have not seen one in person or ridden in one? Down to Skeeter225 and Phoenix 919 as well. I have ridden in those two. I am staying in this range to fit in garage.

    Thanks

    If you compare the specs on their website, and they're accurate, there's only a few inches difference overall length between the 19TRX and the 20TRX, If you have the room, the 20TRX patriot is a better value and bigger motor.

    I love my 2018 19trx Patriot. I had a 2004 tr-196 for 14 years. This boat is wider, sturdier and handles better. It’s plenty of boat for a 19 footer. Just like all Triton’s, the storage is phenomenal. I looked at several brands, and for me the Triton has the best storage-large, deep compartments.

    I came out of a 20x and my 19 Trx rides great and like people have said the width on the new boats makes it feel like a 20 ft boat. I love mine no complaints

    I've got the same hull (19SE) and they are 19'9" so It's really hard not to call it a 20' boat lol. Three inches too short to call it a 20 but its a full sized boat, handles very well.

    I went from a 21X to a 19SE and it handles just as well.

    In MHO its not as fast as one might think w a 225. I thought it would be a rocket ship. Dont get me wrong its fast enough but there are faster 19/20 footers out there. Still a great boat though

    Mine runs right at 72 under the right conditions. I have a heavy load. I have 2 10' pp, 4 31 group batteries, spare prop, alot of tools, and a boat load of tackle.

    What prop are you running that your getting 73mph? Also, is your motor a two or four stroke?

    I have a 24p fury on mine 2 stroke optimax pro xs. Just had it worked by Croxton. Haven’t had a lot of seat time since but before he worked it I was consistently 70-72 and saw almost 73. Loaded to the gills in the heat of summer it was right around 68

    Please let me know your numbers with the prop Mark worked on. Do you have a hydraulic jackplate? If yes, what setting do u have it on?

    When I get a chance I’ll let you know. I have the manual plate and feel I might be able to tweak a little after mark worked this prop. I’ll keep you updated
